More info :
The tournament is going to be held at Tien Son Sports Palace in Da Nang, Vietnam on September 9th/10th, sponsored by Garena. This is a double elimination tournament, and the seeding will be done by random draw on the 9th. This means I will not have the tournament bracket until then. The tournament is set to begin at
10:40pm EST and last until 7:05am EST. The five best Southeast
Asian teams will be competing and come from all over, including Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines. They will be playing for a $9,000 prize pool split up between the places like so:
1st place - $5,000 & Qualification to the Season 2 world championships!
2nd place - $2,500
3rd place - $1,500
4th place - $1,000
Now, most of these Southeast Asian teams are relatively unknown unless you follow the eSports scene like it's going out of style. So I've made a small breakdown of each team, who their members are, and which position each of them play for your enjoyment and ease of information!
